Abstract

We report the preparation and general, optical and resonant Raman scattering characterization of MoS2 platelets suspended in an insulating organic liquid. Structural results indicate that the platelets are predominantly 2H in structure and are about 500Å in diameter and 50–90 Å thick. The optical constants of the composite are close to those expected from the simple Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory. We have observed resonant enhancement of the Raman cross-section for the MoS2 phonon mode at 408 cm−1 as the laser excitation energy is scanned through the “B” exciton.
